Cutting Edge Information (CEI) is a Research Triangle Park-based market research and data analytics firm that builds the world's largest specialty-specific database of Fair Market Value (FMV) rates for engaging healthcare professionals. Pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies use CEI's FMV data, HCP Fee Calculator, and Compliance Insights to set rates that are both competitive enough to attract top clinical talent and defensible enough to satisfy regulators. With 230,000+ rate observations across 126 countries and 280+ specialties, CEI serves more than 300 clients, including over 70% of the top 25 pharmaceutical companies and 8 of the top 10.

Eric Bolesh is the Chief Executive Officer of Cutting Edge Information, a Research Triangle Park firm that has become the de facto industry standard for fair market value (FMV) data in life sciences. One of the company's first employees back in 2002, he spent two decades turning the murky question of what a cardiologist in Bulgaria or a pharmacist in the UK should be paid into a defensible, data-driven discipline. A Harvard graduate and frequent speaker at compliance conferences, he is widely regarded as a thought leader on healthcare-provider engagement and the economics of compliant compensation across more than 130 global markets.
